PEX Tubing Potable Water Tube - 1/2 Inch 2 Rolls X 100Ft PEX-B - Plumbing Pipe Non-Barrier Radiant Heating Pex Coil for Hot Cold Potable Water Plumbing and Open-Loop Hydronic Heating Systems
DESCRIPTION:
Non-barrier PEX tubing is a cross-linked polyethylene pipe manufactured using silane method of cross-linking. It is a single-layer pipe with smooth inner surface and matte exterior and comes in red and blue colors for easier distinction between hot and cold water lines.
PEX tube is an easy-to-install alternative to copper pipe. Long used in radiant heating systems, flexible PEX tubing is perfect for water supply lines because it's easy to run through walls and floors and simple to work with.

ADVANTAGES of PEX Tubing:
1. You can usually make long continuous runs, eliminating most elbows and joints.
2. PEX doesn't sweat under high humidity conditions, and it's also resistant to bursting, even if the lines freeze solid.
3. Joints are easier. You add fittings simply by crimping metal rings over barbed fittings using a special crimping tool.
